What’s New? 2015 Canadian/U.S. Lobstermen’s Town Meeting

The 2015 Canadian/U.S. Lobstermen’s Town Meeting will be held in Saint John, New Brunswick on March 20-21. This year’s Town Meeting is being held in honor and memory of our good friend Klaus Sonnenberg, and will feature topics Klaus was always interested in: the Grey Zone, Ocean Health — including the effects of ocean acidification and climate change on eggers.

Proudly working with and serving the lobster industry from New York to Newfoundland since 1987, the core of the Lobster Institute mission is to sustain both the lobster resource and a viable lobster fishery… through conservation, outreach, research and education. Located at The University of Maine, the Lobster Institute is the only organization of it kind. It was founded jointly by Maine’s lobster industry associations and the University – and quickly spread to be an international presence. We now work for and with lobstermen and all sectors of the lobster industry from Long Island Sound to Newfoundland.

The Lobster Institute is the source of information about all things lobster. Here are just some of the many things you can do on our Web site:
